Maybe it sounds crazy, but I am experimenting with viruses on VMware virtual machine. I need some viruses to do that so I was searching on internet how to get trojan and I've found a video on youtube:linkThere are a lots of malwares and he showed a malicious websites on this video. It's working on his computer, but on my these sites are broken.I thought that they are broken by security updates on Windows so I tried it on Linux, but it's not working. That means that they are removed.

Does anybody know working links of trojans like this or malicious sites?

I've got a couple old ones hanging out on my email, like Sircam and Bagle, but they won't be any use unless you have an email setup that will let you receive them. I did a test to my work email, but our firewall stripped the virus out, and identified it to me as:

The attached message from was found to contain the virus "Worm.Bagle.BB".

This is for your trojan/virus/spyware adventure I presume? (You should actually just continue in the thread you already started about this when this is the case)

Google doesn't offer this "Service" (to my knowledge), but I guess you'll get more "Lucky" if you switch off "SafeSearch".

Other than that, you can only search for "Questionable" contentlike "Warez", "Keygens", "(Child) pr0n" and such.Most of these sites marked are on .ru, .ws and .cn TLD's.

To be honest: I've just tried to search for "Warez" myself onservers located in China and while I had about 81.000.000 hits,I didn't see the warnings anymore Maybe they've switched them off or just reject them all now?

You need: a computer with a NIC and NO anti-virus installed (or disabled). Then you connect it directly to the internet and TURN OFF the Windows Firewall. Then just go to a website, although you probably will get something withing 5 seconds if you are lucky.

Also you can open Outlook Express and add an account into it. A lot of viruses (botnets) like to send emails through Outlook Express. You can STOP your PC from actually sending out said emails by setting the SMTP server to be an invalid address, so then the spam emails will just sit in your Outbox folder.

Seconded - if this is an XP machine, just install it (preferably SP1 or RTM, as they're more vulnerable out of the box) and attach it to the internet with no protection (also second settup up a bogus mail account). Especially if you're on a shared broadband network like cable, your machine will get dirty, and quickly.

Although I can't tell the risk when using XP SP1 (since I'm using SP3), my system isn't running any virus-scanner and has it's firewall turned off. And overall I "Only" get infected 3 or 4 times a year (which I find acceptable fora system that isn't waisting CPU-cycles on a resourcehungry scanner).

Being behind a router (which semi-doubles as a firewall... sort of...) I guess mychances of getting infected are reduced dramatically, but the infections I do getare being brought in by bugs/flaws/undocumented-features in IE and not at socket-layer level (so badware is asked in rather than forced in).

I don't use Outlook Express, so I can't comment on that...

However, I don't recommend this way of "Having sex with the internet, without anycontraceptive" if you don't know exactly what processes are supposed to be running.I am prepared to take this risk on my faily old system and I'm not advising othersto do the same (unless they like to live adventurous)

Apart from that all: make sure you always install the latest patches and updates(Unless you're a guy like Milan and wants to get infected, of course).

Being behind a router, and not directly connected, *does* indeed increase the risk of infection, BY FAR. If you're trying to get infected, then this would most definitely be a bad idea, hence why the suggestion was to use no firewall, no router, and connect an XP RTM or SP1 box directly to the internet. That'll get you infected, probably within a few minutes, with all kinds of nastiness.

They have a host file there for blocking malware sites. I been visiting the sites in the hosts file(I'm halfway through the b's) the last few days and only ran into 3 infections so far so it's not that great. There are threads like this: http://www.malwaredo...hp?topic=4433.0 that are updated daily though.
